| ccSARn | OSDDEF | CONTROLLED | Names reserved. Pending publication of configuration managed specification. OSMPF has created an OSDDEF 1.0-to-NITF 2.1 conversion process which makes use of the generic Open Skies Treaty-specified OSDDEF 1.0 TRE for recording Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) related metadata. The generic TRE has a naming convention of ccSARn, whre "cc" refers to the country code (as defined in the Open Skies Treaty) of the data provider and "n" is a numeric versioning character running from 0 to 9. |
